How many atoms of oxygen and carbon does a molecule or carbon dioxide have?

Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, has one Carbon molecule and two Oxygen molecules.


What three elements form carbon dioxide?

Carbon, oxygen, and another oxygen atom make up carbon dioxide.


Is carbon dioxide molecule made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom?

No. One carbon dioxide molecule is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.


Does Carbon take electrons from oxygen in carbon dioxide?

In a carbon dioxide molecule, carbon does not take electrons from oxygen. Instead, carbon shares electrons with oxygen through covalent bonds, forming a stable molecule.


What two chemicals do you mix together to get carbon dioxide?

Caron dioxide is a chemical compound of the elements carbon and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is made from one carbon molecule and two oxygen molecules and is commonly written as CO2.


Is carbon dioxide CO2 a molecule and is oxygen a molecule too?

They are both made out of molecules: Carbon dioxide = CO2-molecules, Oxygen = O2-molecules.


What is a compound with two oxygen atmosphere molecule?

Carbon Dioxide (two oxygen molecules and one carbon molecule)


Is Carbon dioxide O2?

No, carbon dioxide is not the same as oxygen (O2). Carbon dioxide is a molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (CO2). Oxygen, on the other hand, exists as O2, where two oxygen atoms are bonded together.


Can a molecule of oxygen have a atom of carbon in it?

Not in it, but bonded to it. In this case, you have carbon monoxide. Add another oxygen molecule and you have carbon dioxide. No, a molecule of Oygen would have the formula O2, and it contains two atoms of Oygen. If Carbon was also present then it would not be a molecule of Oxygen. It would be either Carbon monoxide (CO) or Carbon dioxide (CO2).


How is carbon dioxide denser than oxygen?

Carbon dioxide is denser than oxygen because it has a larger molecular weight per molecule. Each molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, making it heavier than each molecule of oxygen (O2), which consists of only two oxygen atoms. This difference in molecular weight causes carbon dioxide to be denser than oxygen.


How many elements make up one molecule of carbon dioxide?

A carbon dioxide molecule has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. The carbon means 1 carbon. The Di-oxide means 2 oxygen. Di (as in dos which is 2 in spanish) means 2. Oxide means oxygen.


If you could break up a carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?

No, breaking up a carbon dioxide molecule into its constituent atoms (carbon and oxygen) would result in separate carbon and oxygen atoms. The molecular structure and properties of carbon dioxide would no longer exist.
